Agree. But since the bus in SF is $2.50 I can see why my friend takes the Uber.

Edit: "Express POOL is a new kind of shared ride that begins and ends at convenient Express spots. Update your app today to start riding for as low as $2.” It's not Uber Pool it's some new product I hadn't heard of befor

You need enough drivers to get a ride on demand at any time/location and enough riders to keep them busy. Too few drivers you get long waits or surge prices. Too few riders and the drivers start to disappear...

What Uber is doing here should absolutely not be allowed. Whenever you go to a city where Uber is in it's first year of operations the prices are insanely low. This also happens when Uber launches a new product like Pool. This enabl

No not at all. XRP is part of the Ripper network which is a centralized payment network run by a single company. It's mostly used by banks. It's going for speed and volume not privacy, decentralization, or growth.

I hold a small amount of XRP. It's not even a true Cryptocurrency as we commonly think of them but it's a nice piece of tech with good momentum in a space that could sorely use some efficiency gains.

All true but that's just proof that BTC doesn't really scale to the point where it's a useful global medium of exchange. That's an interesting way to think about BCH. Some of the price increase is justified due to the i

I've been playing with Bitcoin since 2010, the first price I remember was $0.10 a coin. I even did some CPU mining (!). I have never seriously invested in BTC but I've been paying attention. It's amazing to watch the price go

So in a way driving Uber is like taking a loan from your future self. You have a car and need money. Uber gives you good gross pay. 5 years down the road when you have to sell or repair your car, that's when you have to pay up for a

This. I work in Developer Relations and we used to say our motto was to be the "0th customer". Just by building on top of new APIs we planned to release we'd discover piles of issues and improvements that even the best deve

Uber is like the classic movie evil villain. They had their enemy dangling over the pit of alligators, but they spent too long giving their final speech and the good guy got away. If Uber had better direction in the last 2 years they would

This article really gets it. It's all about transportation. It will never be possible for everyone who wants to be in San Francisco to live downtown, or even adjacent to downtown. Just like the article said, Manhattan is much de

Only if: a) You live near BART b) Your destination is near BART And there's also the fact that even if a+b are true for you it's very expensive (~$4-5 each way compared to $2.25 in NYC), overcrowded, and has horrible latency.

The utility of Amazon is really apparent in these responses. I think the "how much would you care if company {x} disappeared" is one of the most interesting questions. I imagine this is how people feel about that: Apple - iPhone

The only two places I've ever lived (Philadelphia are and San Francisco) both have this machine so I assumed it was extremely common. Only realized from these comments that it's not.

I wouldn't say the difference is exactly that clear cut. Presence is a clear example of a situation where you want to use Realtime Database over Cloud Firestore. And you're right, for something that you would otherwise do "

It does not "supersede" Datastore or Firebase Realtime Database, neither of those products are going anywhere. This is a totally new product that builds on what we learned from those two products, sharing some of the best features
